66 / SPRING 2011
As usual, the choice of the photo to use as the background of
the new card DAN occurred among the images received in the
4 sessions of the DAN Photocontest.
The choice, increasingly difficult for the quality of the images
we receive, has fallen on a shot that won the 4th session of
the Photocontest.
Helmut Theiss has succeeded in stopping on the CCD of his
digital camera a beautiful picture of a shy octopus using two
valves of a clam like a shield to protect itself.
The image was taken in Lembeh, one of the most interesting
locations for the enormous quantity and quality of some
species not found elsewhere in the world.
It is interesting to point out that we now receive high-quality
images shot with digital cameras which can be purchased even
with very limited budget, something that was unthinkable only
a few years ago. This finally makes underwater ph tography
a possibility for everyone. As usual, DAN Europe thanks all
participants who contributed to the success of the contest with
their photos.
